Amilla Maldives Joins Small Luxury Hotels of the World

(25 April 2022, 11:38 +07)  Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences has joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH).

Amilla is one of only five high-end resorts in Maldives to grace SLH’s portfolio of partner hotels.

And, as one of the few Maldivian-owned and operated luxury resorts in Maldives, Amilla strives to celebrate and uplift Maldivian talent, such as local artists and musicians, and to work with local suppliers such as fishermen and agricultural smallholdings where possible.

This commitment extends to the natural world surrounding as well. Amilla Maldives is set within the Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, and the resort has committed to helping to regenerate corals in the area with the help of its resident marine biologist, to reduce energy waste and to recycle as much refuse as possible, as part of its conservation and environmental efforts.

Victoria Kruse, Amilla’s Sustainability and Wellness Mentor, said, "SLH is such an incredible mark of quality, it adds a degree of credibility to Amilla and supports the dwindling array of small privately owned properties around the world that are fighting to remain independent and offer unique experiences for guests looking for something outside the cookie cutter experience. We are incredibly proud to be accepted into the elite group of hotels that make up this organisation and look forward welcoming SLH’s Invited guests to our naturally lush island."

Amilla Maldives recently consolidated its commitment to sustainability by becoming officially Silver EarthCheck certified.
